Friyay

Finally friday and a whole weekend OFF is ahead of me! 

Its been a crazy week with a weird virus in town knocking many kids down. They called from marzipan monday at 11 and said filippa had dots on hands and face, so we went to the doctor  and, yes, she had gotten the very contagious coxackie virus. We were lucky and filippa never got worse than this, no fever and no other symptoms. Other kids were very ill. However, she is/wasnt allowed to see other kids for 7 days which ment a bit of puzzling for me and demi. Luckily we are pros at puzzling nowadays:) 

 So, we have had the healthiest sick kid in human history and the poor little one has really missed her friends. I have however managed to forget that she is sick and contagious, so yesterday we were 5min at a friends place (who had not gotten the virus) before i had to rush out with a crying filippa (she disnt understand at all of course)who i hope and pray to some almighty god had not infected this poor boy..GAH!!!  

 The sick little filippa after doctor…

Well, this little devil is now trying to play the “buhuuu i am sick” – card when she wants a “sore throat sweet” to suck on. She also gladly informs other kids in 100meters of radius that “ICH BIN CHRANK”…(i am sick)! 

Please let the dots be gone monday, we all need filippas daycare, filippa most of all!  

   Here is our highlight the last few mornigns, to wait for our squirrel:)  
 life has definitley not only been tough the last week. I look forward to more of these moments this weekend! 

Happy weekend!

With light steps in the new week

February is a crazy month, so much work for both Demian and me…that filippa has been ill and we have been at home for 4 days has not made things easier. Both filippa and I climb on the walls after ONE morning at home…

the relief when demian wasn’t able to ski yesterday (because of too much snow) was total! Since my heels stop me from skinning i feel a bit stressed about my training, not strength, but endurance. I can easily take filippa to the gym for 30-40min strength, but i cant go on the treadmill with her (she would jump on it and try to run herself, DANGEROUS), so i am dependent on demian or a babysitter. Yesterday I got 40min of running, i really pushed myself and ran as long as i could by my lactate threshold, PAIN!!! Today I feel it in my whole body….I havent been running like that since ULTRAKS in August. Fantastic feeling while I was running, not so fantastic today…

another fantastic thing is that instead of starting 8.30 this morning I start work 12 today. Many of my PT clients are having school holidays with their kids this week, and two are sick. So now I have done my book keeping and don’t feel stressed about that either! So much stress is gone!! Plus that I got a morning for myself at home=) I LOVE OFFICE MORNINGS!

Good start on a good week! Hope you are having a fantastic monday as well!

Pics in my phone

We went to check the new tunnel out, exciting if you ask filippa and her very good friends jonas and olivia:)   
   Filippa had had a cough and i found a new medicine thanks to one of my pt clients. Very good!  
  Filippa didnt want to sleep and instead joined demi in the office. Filippa muss schaffe!  
    
  These are the two girls we hear most about at home since the day she was able to say their names..there is power in all three of them..will be very exciting to see what comes in the future…think i will not always have a smile on my face… 

   This pic is older than a week, because it is now a week ago filippa gave her nukki to the nukki tree. We had 3-4 nights where she woke up and asked for it, and cried crocodile tears at bedtime. But now it is all good. She doesnt ask for it and falls asleep without problems. Now it is still only me that can miss her face expression of complete calm and security when she got the nukki in her mouth at night…i play with the thought “what would happen if i now gave it to her”? I have to tell myself to “get over it” and “grow up”!! 

This is how i felt a bitnafter the firdt nights…

 
   My little douschkidooo!!! 
Tomorrow monday and lots of work for 5 days, then weekend again. So happy that i decided on having weekends off. Works most weekends:)

Practise makes perfect

We went skiing yesterday. Two runs, one before lunch and  one after. I would not say that filippa is hooked on skiing yet. One second she says she wants to ski and the next she really don’t want to! here we are still at home having  a last pee, with ALL clothing on. And yes, she went to the toilet before we started the dressing session, but of course had to go again. The law of going to toilet in the most inappropriate time…
 I am very happy about my new colourful jacket:) feel like a swedish ski bum again;)

 After skiing we took a spontaneous after ski at cervo. Filippa didn’t want to be outside for some weird reason so we had to go inside:(   
 Very nice afternoon! 

Below video of our little  racer. I am so impressed and absolutely horrified when she skis. It is not as flat as it looks on the video and it goes fast. When i ski with her i use the harness and rope. Demian is much faster on the skiis and reacts quick to all her movements! Practise makes perfect!

I want to be alone- i never want to be without you

i am on the train towards the airport and stockholm to see my university friends and my cousin Emily! Yay! A fantastic tradition! Have been looking forward to this for so long. Not only to see my friends, but also to be alone on the train, travel by myself and only have to care about me myself and I! 

  But as i now sit here i cant help to think that it would have been sooooo nice if demi and filippa would have been here too! I am trying to tell myself that it probably would have been very loud and stressful but even so I think it would have been very cosy! 

How weird that is…i can loooong for time alone, but when i have it, i miss them like crazy!  

   

Zermatt

like the frosties commercial

today has been a fantastic day. In one way nothing special happened but i have been very much in peace with myself and with filippa.

It started with a sleep in. I woke up 8.32 with filippa next to me. Demian was in Lenk. We were cuddeling a bit and talkimg about that matterhorn was gone and “where has it gone??”(cloudy). I had organised opa reini to look after filippa from 9-12 so i could go touring but abandoned that idea since we slept so long. Breakfast would be to tight on training and i would just feel really tired. Sleeping and having a rest is sometimes more important…

We had breakfast and afterwards a happy filippa went to opa, still in her pyjama. I made myself a big coffee, checked my fav blogs and went up to continue my bookkeeping for 2015. Worked really well until 12 and then a happy hungry filippa came back.  Got this pic from reini:)

 We had lunch and then played that she and all her stuffed animals were on a boat on a wild ocean! 

Afterwards we went sledging and it was snowing like crazy and i had to run and push the whole time since the snow was wet and SLOW!  

    
 A exhausted filippa fell asleep on the sledge and continued to sleep on the floor at sarahs place where we had coffee afterwards. 

Afterwards we went to meet demi who had come back from lenk. We walked home and i made pancakes for snack and it was like american happy family in the frosties commercial! It was getting dark and demi put a fire on and went to the gym. Filippa watched the ipad and i read a book(!!!!)! Then demi came home again and we made a good attempt in making filippa tired by playing circus and hide and seek. 

Then i tried to put her to bed and she fell asleep straight away (this is NOT TRUE, but that story will maybe be another post tomorrow). After 40minutes of not sleeping me and demian managed to still cook the adult dinner we had planned and looked forward to and sit down alone for 15minutes with filippa in her room playing (21.00 at night, 1,5 hours after normal bedtime). 

Afterwards filippa DID fall asleep and i finished (!!!) my book infront of the fire..

Ha??? What do you think of that day? Once every 10th year this happens! HARMONY!  

Ps. Not written is all the cleaning of dish, floors and baby butts…plus how wet and cold we were after sledging, the toothbrush fight, the fact that filippa had pyjama on the whole day and the 2hour of trying to put filippa to bed…

But it was a FANTASTIC DAY! 

Good night
